Agreed. The pee-take for me is that I bought Division, noticed that my system isn't really up to it, and now want a new graphics card, and the best card for me at the moment comes free with the game that I spent £39 on! I can get the card £20 cheaper than this deal, but it excludes the SSD...

I wouldn't say "Huge Premium", and this item was only £10 more, and for that, I'd rather just walk into the shop and buy it rather than risk delivery.

I've noticed that Benq are (or seem to be) one of the worst monitors for showing different colours on two identical monitors. Even playing with all the colour controls I couldn't get the two to look the same. However, I've now got 2 Dell 2412's at home and they are pretty much identical...

It's called marketing. At least they didn't do like some shops recently - hike the prices for a month, then declare a mega fantastic sale by reducing prices to the same as they were before the hike. Where I work, staff can buy anything in stock at cost price. That doesn't mean we could...

It says: "Quidco members should only use voucher codes listed on Quidco. If you use voucher codes or gift vouchers that are not listed on Quidco your cashback may not track or be declined." So OcUK have the right to decline your cashback as you used a non-Quidco voucher code. Plus I don't...

I've been here how long and never realised they did free shipping for loyal forum members! Updated customer account now. Although I do normally visit the shop anyway, but sometimes its more practical to have stuff ordered due to opening times as otherwise I only have Saturday afternoon...

Seasonic here. Hiper is too noisy and has other problems.

Seems like your using a memory divider in the bios thats running your memory slower than it is capable. I don't know what fsb your cpu is running at, but it seems from your screenshots that its 200mhz, which would give you 133mhz memory bandwidth (3:2). I'd change the divider from 3:2 to 1:1...

Firstly, ensure the memory is stable at your current fsb (eg. some memory states 250Mhz, but isn't actually stable at this frequency). Considering that it's 3200 memory, that means about 200Mhz, so if your cpu is running faster than this, you'll need to slacken the timings, increase voltage...

Tell you what, I'll swap you with my Opty 170 that can only do 2.6 at 1.55V ! ;) At 2.7, the machine doesn't even boot the bios, so a 3800 X2 @ 2.75... Well...

I bought some of this about 2 weeks ago: G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit (F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ) (MY-008-GS) It was rock stable at 260Mhz 1:1 (No divider) 2.5V along with a Opteron 170 @ 2.6Ghz 1.5V. By "rock stable" I mean it would pass Memtest86 for hours, along with...

Add a zero to that (30 hours) and you can call it semi-stable :)

With your CPU at 225Mhz: 200Mhz would give you 225Mhz 166Mhz would give you 187Mhz 133Mhz would give you 149Mhz etc...

I seem to struggling to find working programs to monitor temperatures on a DFI UT NF4 SLI-DR board with a Opty 170. NVidia Monitor - Works OK (Something) Guard (came on motherboard cd) - Works OK Motherboard Monitor - Abruptly reboots system when run SpeedFan - Abruptly reboots systems...

On the plus side I didn't really waste any money by buying a current X2 setup instead of waiting for the new M2 sockets and processors :)

You should be able to go upto 1.65v, but I'd like to make sure the temperatures are still good. I don't think it would be a good idea for A64 to be constantly running at 60c+, so make sure you have adequate cooling.

Try dropping the timings (eg. 3-4-4-8) or slap a divider on. You may find you have been given memory with the wrong stickers on.

sata ports are backwards compatable, but not all harddrives are. So beware before trying to use sata2 hd's on a sata1 motherboard. Luckily, your not trying to do that, so you should have no problems :)

Well, I get about 46c at full load (eg. both cores priming) on a Freezer 64 with all fans on low (Opty 170). I'd expect a good deal less with a Scythe. My 170 runs at 2.65Ghz @ 1.525V for comparison. Idle temp is 33c.

You normally only need the serial number and proof of purchase for a manufacturer warranty.
